I wrote and edited four different newsletters over the years. I should have recognized writing was/is a part of me even then.

On writing games, I remember Jenny Crusie having us write a story with the first letter of the alphabet and each successive sentence beginning with the next one. It was a ton of fun. Interesting to see how the brain works, where our thoughts take us. <br />Good luck with the book, and congrats! again.Robena Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389730409379890816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1215609555228929464.post-59941322825473102632014-01-31T11:39:01.626-05:002014-01-31T11:39:01.626-05:00I love hearing about your journey, Vicki!

Marilyn Baxter taught a short story class and we had to write a story from a picture. I was at a loss because before I'd always heard a bing! and dialogue. She said to scribble; so I did. And I turned it in to be critiqued by her friends!!! But I got back nice things. I really went to work and made it a good story, which I did sell.
